The new product will be launched at the FTA Forum and Infoflex 2023. 

The Cyrel Lightning LFH plate was built on the technology of the award-winning Cyrel Lightning plates, which received the FTA Technical Innovation Award in 2022. 

“This new plate is optimised for the latest UV-LED exposure technology, such as the Esko XPS Crystal, and was designed for the sustainable thermal Cyrel Fast process. Combining the unique stability of LED exposure with the quick, easy and solvent-free platemaking of Cyrel Fast helps our customers produce high-end printing plates quickly and efficiently,” Tucker Norton, global business leader, DuPont Cyrel Solutions, said.

The new plate allows for the use of the latest screening technologies for enhanced print quality, making it ideal for tradeshops and converters seeking to produce high-quality plates. The workflow is simple to use and results in outstanding prints.

“We are confident that converters that are thinking about running platemaking operations in-house as well as other flexographic plate providers will appreciate the ease of use and the high quality printforms that this workflow provides. Combining UV-LED exposure and thermal Cyrel Fast processing offers repeatable and sustainable platemaking combined with a small operational footprint” Norton added.
